Opening Doors: From Library Residencies to Open Education

Abstract
Four former resident librarians will draw connections between their past residency experiences and their current work in open education. They will specifically discuss how power, labor, and community have informed their approaches to librarianship and discuss how equity, diversity, and inclusion work can directly translate to open education work within academic libraries. The panelists will make recommendations for those who are considering writing up open education position descriptions and those who are developing residency programs focused on open education. Learning Outcomes include 1) Reflect upon the career progression of former resident librarians in order to analyze library residency efficacy, 2) Explore connections between library residencies and open education in order to establish common values and transferable skills, and 3) Critically examine institutional and ongoing support for library residencies and open education initiatives in order to ensure equity and sustainability in program development.
